The article questions it is valid to use the Institute of administrative prejudice by the legislator in the corpus delicti construction. While some scientists and lawyers argue that administrative prejudice is a «full-fledged» instrument of criminal policy, others believe that this institution violates non bis in idem principle, unreasonably increases the influence of the offender's personality traits on the basis of criminal responsibility and «blurs» the boundaries between crime and administrative offense. The author proves the inadmissibility of using the Institute of administrative prejudice in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
